Tutor who bit and slapped pupils ordered to pay BD1,500
A private tutor who bit, slapped and pinched two young boys during English lessons has been ordered to pay BD1,500 in damages.
The Lower Civil Court found that the woman, an Asian national, assaulted the children repeatedly while teaching them at home.
The abuse remained hidden from their parents until bruises and bite marks began to appear on the boys' bodies.
Only then did the full picture begin to emerge. The children's father filed a criminal complaint.
The tutor was convicted and sentenced to one month in prison.
Mandatory attendance
The sentence was later replaced with mandatory attendance at a rehabilitation and training programme, with bail set at BD100 to suspend the term. No appeal was filed against the verdict.
In the civil proceedings, the court said the woman's actions had caused physical injury and left the boys suffering from fear and anxiety.
The criminal ruling, supported by the Court of Appeal, was considered final and binding, confirming the tutor's liability.
Lawyer Khalil Ibrahim, representing the father, stated that his client was the boys' legal guardian.
Sentence
He submitted official documents showing that the tutor had served her sentence and that the ruling had not been challenged.
The court awarded BD1,000 to the children, to be divided equally between them, as compensation for the physical and emotional harm.
It also held the tutor responsible for the payment, which is to be made to the father in his legal capacity

22 Referred to Court in Bahrain Over Fake Food Expiry Dates
Bahrain's Public Prosecution has completed its investigation into a serious case involving expired food products being sold with fake expiry dates. Twenty-two people and two companies have been referred to court for their involvement. The case began when a worker reported to Khamis Police Station that he was forced to change expiry dates on food items at a company's warehouse. He said expired goods were being relabeled to appear fresh and fit for sale. The worker recorded a video of this process and filed an official complaint. Following the report, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce shut down the company's warehouse and shops. A team from the Public Prosecution visited the site, questioned 29 people including company owners and workers, and ordered all of them to be held during the investigation. More than 14,000 expired food items were found in the warehouse, along with chemicals used to erase expiry dates. Some of these products had already reached supermarkets. A forensic expert confirmed the expiry dates had been altered using new labels. Witnesses and police investigations supported the worker's claims. After reviewing all evidence, the prosecution decided to charge 22 people. Seven others, all of Asian nationality, were released due to lack of proof. The court case is scheduled to begin on June 22, 2025, in the Sixth Minor Criminal Court. The prosecution also said that any food items confirmed to be safe can still be sold, and maintenance workers are allowed to access the warehouse to keep refrigeration systems working to prevent further spoilage.
